Edo de Waart conducts Brahms' Symphony No. 1

A propos du spectacle

Relish a symphonic concert that pairs the grandeur of Brahms' First Symphony with the intense drama of the final 'Jeremiah' movement of Bernstein's First Symphony.

Renowned mezzo‐soprano Sasha Cooke sings the Lamentation, under the baton of Dutch veteran Edo de Waart, before the orchestra launches into the symphony that took the perfectionist, self‐critical Brahms more than a decade to compose. Widely expected to continue Beethoven's legacy, the composer paid extensive homage to his predecessor, with both rhythmic and melodic tributes to the great man.
